I'm starting to think that I'm already dead and merely animated by coffee alone.
I like to use hourglasses for timing my writing sprints and then recording times completed on grid paper that is sectioned off by the month.
(One is :15, one :30, the big one is :60)
It really helps keep me motivated.
What writing quirks have you adopted?

When I'm happy, I'm making progress on my wip. When I'm making progress on my wip, I'm happy.
Now, so long as nothing interrupts this little feedback loop, I'm good.
Fingers crossed.

An ellipsis... that's what I got done today on my wip... a literal ellipsis.

Just used my new French press for the first time. I never thought it was gonna make such a big difference, but it really does.
This is somewhat of a good news/bad news situation. XD
I guess nobody ever aims to become a coffee snob. And yet here I am.

To this day, I've still never seen anyone cool a pie on a window ledge.

I had a little mishap with some blue food colouring and still wanted to get some writing in so I put on some dish gloves to prevent my keyboard from being stained.
Any way, I had a pretty good writing sprint so I guess I write with dish gloves on now.

If you want to see if your dog is spoiled, carry something extremely large and heavy towards them like a couch or a refrigerator.
If they do not move, your dog is spoiled.

You know you're a writer when you collect single halves of metaphors for later use (though you have no idea what the second half to go with it will be).

Went to the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday.
I was struck by this artist Rita Letendre (1928–2021) whose evolution really inspired me.
What a transformation!
She started out with works like these (the red and black one called "Torment"):

Funny how when you tell people that you are writing a novel, the first thing that they do is ask if you are published.
The second thing that they do is start to suggest changes to the plot and characters, as if you havent spent thousands of hours working those things out already.

There's nothing better than a walk with the dog through the forest at night while it's snowing.
And on November 9th, no less.

Babysitting this lil beast.
As soon as I sit down, he's on my lap.
But this is preferable to him drinking my coffee as he was trying to do moments ago. XD

So, 'bedroom' and 'bathroom' are one word but 'dining room' and 'living room' are both two words?
I am a native English speaker. Indeed, I only speak one language. And I am perplexed as to how anyone can learn this incredibly complicated tongue.
